This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and skilled all-rounder to lead a new initiative that will support racialised minority charity professionals to progress in the sector.
Making The Leap is a small and innovative social justice charity that aims to make a big difference. From direct delivery, to advocacy and leadership, we refuse to stay in our lane and believe passionately that those we exist to serve have the right to be anything they want to be. To say that this is an exciting time for the organisation would be an understatement, as our incredible funders, donors, partners and supporters have given us the chance to move to the next level, and have further influence and delivery nationally.
The shared soul of the organisation is to be passionate about helping young people from less-advantaged backgrounds; build up other charities and community groups and want to partner with them or support them; want to work with businesses and organisations to get things done; and care deeply about addressing racial inequity generally (and anti-Blackness in particular). The people here work hard, are good at what they do, and for so many it is ‘home’, with an average tenure of 11 years.
The organisation has a number of strands: core Making The Leap; the UK Social Mobility Awards; the Social Mobility Podcast and our brand new initiative Black Charity Leaders. Your remit will be to set-up and run Black Charity Leaders.

About Us
The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest community funder in the UK - we’re proud to award money raised by players of The National Lottery to communities across the UK. Last year alone we gave out over half a billion pounds (£508.5 million) of National Lottery funding to over 11,000 community projects across the UK, enabling even more people and communities to bring their ideas and ambitions to life. We support a wide range of health, educational, environmental, and charitable projects with grants ranging from as little as £500 to multi-million-pound programmes. 86% of our new grants were for less than £10k.
At the heart of everything we do is the belief that when people are in the lead, communities thrive. National Lottery funding is open to everyone and we’re privileged to be able to work with the smallest of grassroots groups right up to large UK-wide charities. We have changed how we work across the Fund to help us serve people and communities more effectively, working flexibly and on their terms; working closer to communities.

You will be adept at setting strategies that drive forward positive change marrying business needs with innovative analysis. You will have experience of designing and delivering a major digital system and be skilled in making complex decisions balancing outcomes with risks.
The team is spread across the UK and you can be based at any of our office locations. When we return to the workplace there will be some travel between offices.

Equal Opportunities
Equality, diversity and inclusion in our grant-making, and amongst our people, are all vital to our success in supporting people and communities to thrive. We believe our people should represent the communities, organisations and individuals we work with. We are committed to being an inclusive and great place to work, and recognise our people come from diverse backgrounds. We are a Disability Confident employer and positively welcome applications from disabled people.
Are you a confident researcher who would like to use your skills to amplify the voices and experience of Deaf and disabled people in Barnet? Do you have your own lived experience of disability (which could include a long term condition or mental health issues)?
We are looking for an enthusiastic self-starter to take on an exciting two year project to understand disabled people’s experience of the social care system. Using surveys and interviews, and supported by a steering group of users who you will work with closely, you will build a picture of how much people feel the support they receive is helping them achieve independence and the outcomes they aspire to. You’ll use that information to build reports and recommendations, culminating in a conference to share learning and hear from other areas about how to build best practice in support and co-production.
A natural relationship builder, you will be able to adjust your communication style to work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, from users to senior council staff to other London DDPOs. You’ll also be able to write clearly, persuasively and accessibly, creating reports and information that people want to read. You’ll also be able to advocate effectively for greater co-production and make a positive case for change, sensitive to the perspective of a range of stakeholders but able to find solutions and suggestions that build user involvement.
You’ll hold overall responsibility for our user voice work, overseeing the work of our User Voice Lead and ensuring that there is effective shared learning between different projects. Supervisory experience would therefore be an asset, but we are also open to applications from talented disabled people looking to move into their first management role. Confidence to conduct high-quality research independently with minimal supervision is essential, however.
This is a great opportunity to create a really impactful piece of work and influence thinking on approaches to Adult Social Care. The work is Barnet-based, but we hope it will be influential far beyond the borough. So we’re looking for someone committed to making a difference, who will take this opportunity and help create positive change.
In return, you will become part of a friendly and supportive team, working within a focused but flexible culture, where diversity is valued and you can bring your whole self to work.
The role is based in Colindale, but with some flexibility for homeworking days. The role is totally home based during lockdown.
Interviews will be in early February, with the successful candidate commencing in post 1st April. To apply, please submit your CV and a full cover letter explaining how you would use your lived experience of disability to inform your work, as well as detailing your research experience.
